COMBINATION-PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,465, dated January 4, 1887.

Application filed June s, 1886. Serial No. 204,470. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, SHEPHERD SPENCER NEVILLE, of township 23, range 4 west, in the county of Sumter and State of Alabama, have 5 invented a new and Improved Combination- Plow, of which the following is a full, clear, 7 and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a plow upon which either 'wooden or metallic r mold-boards may be used interchangeably; and to the end named the invention consists of certain novel constructions, to be hereinafter described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

I Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side View of my improved form of combination-plow. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the same. Fig.3 is a view of a portion of the l'andside of the plow. Fig. 4 is a View of the mold-board, and Fig. 5 is a sectional View taken on line :0 00 ofFig. 1.

In constructing such a plow as is illustrated in the drawings above referred to, the iron standard B, which is of novel construction, is bolted to the under side of the beam A, there being a plate, a, upon the upper end of the standard, through which there are formed apertures to permit of the passage of the bolts 1) 7). forward, and is provided with a flange, d, and

upon its landside is formed with a recess, 0,

5 the point C resting upon the flange, to which it is secured by means of a bolt, 6, the point being steadied by a rearwardly-extending bar, f, which fits in the recess a of the standard B, the said bar being bolted to, the standard ate 40 e, as shown best in Fig. 3. Just back of the point C, I arrange a share, .1), which is bolted to the standard by means of bolts 0, and this share projects upward for a little distance beyond the flange upon the standard.

The standard projects downward and- The mold-b0ard E (the form and general 5 construction of which are best shown in Fig. 4) is provided with a forwardlyprojecting flange, g,which fits beneath the rearwardly-extending edge of the share D, the extreme upper edge of the share abutting against the shoulder h, as shown, the parts being united by bolts 2' i. The handles K K of the plow are united by cross rods or braces k k is, one of such braces being arranged beneath the beam, and the landside-handle is bolted to the rear end of 5 beam, and also to the rear end of the bar f, while thelower end of the other handle is bolted tothc mold-board E, in case such mold-board is made of wood; but if the mold-board is of metal the lower end of its handle is stepped .6 in a socket, Z, that is secured to the rear face of the-mold-board.

It is well understood that a wooden mold board acts to pulverize the earth more thoroughly than does a metallic mold-board; but 6 it is not always desirableto use a wooden moldboard, and hence the want of a plow provided with interchangeable mold-boards.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire to secure by Leto ters Patent, is

The combination, in aplow, of the beam A, the forwardly-inclined standard B, formed on its lower end with the flange (Z, having a recess, 0, along its lower edge on the landside, 7 the point 0, formed with the rearwardly-extending barf, fitting in the recess a, the separateshare D, projecting upward beyond the flange of the said standard, the mold-board E, having the forwardly-projecting flange 9, rest- So ing under the projecting portion of the share and forming. a shoulder, 71,,therefor, and the bolts '5 t, passing through said overlapped portions, substantially as set forth. i
